Day 233 Video and Action
[Open Video]

[Mal's wearing a cowboy hat and, though he looks a bit hung over, he's also grinning. Every once in a while, there's a whicker that sounds like a horse, and a horse's mane invades the video.]

Did ya'll know we had horses here?

[Private to Bart]

Bart? Suppose I should thank you fer findin' me yesterday.

[That's the closest he'll get to an apology.]

[Open Action]

Mal's pretty ecstatic to find the horses. He wasn't so happy about jumping through the hoops to get the license to be allowed to ride the horses, but any annoyance fled once he saddled one up and took her out. The mare ran quickly and he almost forgot his discomfort of the water as he rode along the beach. Anyone could encounter him either on horseback or later finishing up his ride and taking care of the horse after.

	Pretty hard t'forget ridin' a horse. I'll stop by the stables for a bit... meet you there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ After a quick stop at home to change his shoes (riding in sneakers is such a bad idea) he heads on over to the beach, breathing deep of the familiar, warm scent once he gets close enough to the stables. Better than therapy. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Mal turns his horse back towards the stables. He arrives just in time to see the newcomer take a large whiff.] Ain't nothin' like it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He turns at the voice, face split in a wide, happy grin. ] Ain't gonna argue with that! 's like comin' home, just breathin' them in. You done for th' day or you still got time for a ride? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2013-09-12 12:03 am UTC (link)
	Always got time t'ride! [Mal grins, but it's just a little too limp to be actually happy. And whether or not he thinks he's OK, he's going to feel the pain of riding all day tomorrow.] Be good t'have someone can actually ride. Been teachin' too much today. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-09-12 01:52 pm UTC (link)
	[ He gives a nod and a smile before turning his attention back to the horses, eventually approaching a gray mare. ] You been ridin' a lot back home? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Mal shrugs at the question.] When we was planetside. Occasionally. Grew up on a ranch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-09-14 05:08 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah? Me too, kinda... spent my first eighteen years on a farm. We didn't have a horse of our own but I used t' borrow my cousins every so often. Before I came here it'd been a few years though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2013-09-15 12:52 pm UTC (link)
	It's about the only bit of home they have here. That an' most of sector three. Provided you live in the central core. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-09-15 02:44 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah? It looks like that where you're from? [ Curious. He's been here for months and never really thought to ask that before. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Mal shrugs.]

It’s all a bit of a mash up. Depends on where you live. But with what history I do remember bein’ taught, after we had to leave Earth-That-Was… the United States empire and the Chinese empire, the two formed together to form the American-Chinese Alliance. Then they started stickin’ their noses in everyone’s business.

I’m Mal by the way.
[He wanted to know his riding partner’s name. If only to find him easily again later when he needed a race.]

[ He nods, more to be polite than to show that he understands what the guy is talking about. Most of those names he only barely know through talking to other inmates — no Earth where he's from. No China or United States either. ]

'm Aidan. [ A pause as he hoists himself up in the saddle. It's been a few years, but some things you never forget and it shows that he's an experienced rider. ] Aidan Reilly.

	Aidan? [Something about the name rings familiar to him. It hits a second later.] You the Aidan Helix keeps tryin' to in'erduce me to? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-09-20 06:25 pm UTC (link)
	[ His expression slides from curious anticipation to a wide, happy smile. ] That'd be me. He's, uh... he's my boyfriend. [ In case that didn't come up in conversation. ] So you know Helix? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2013-09-23 10:08 pm UTC (link)
	He knows me more I think. Talked like he knew me when I came in. Guess a different me was here before. He an' I stole a chicken in the other prison. Squall... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-09-24 02:41 pm UTC (link)
	Huh. I didn't know 'bout that. I mean, not that he needs t' tell me everythin' or anythin' it's just... weird. You'd think I'd notice in a place like that. [ Then again, there was a lot going on. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2013-09-25 12:04 am UTC (link)
	[Mal shrugged.] So much happenin' I don't think people did notice much. We weren't there longer'n a day or two. He's a good kid though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-09-25 01:32 pm UTC (link)
	[ This? This is a sigh of relief. ] So glad that you think that, you got no idea... most people seem t', uh... have a hard time with him. He can be a handful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2013-09-26 01:15 am UTC (link)
	[Mal laughs at the thought.] No... a handful is my crew. Individuals on my crew are more a handful than he is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-09-26 05:23 pm UTC (link)
	Really? Huh. That must be one hell of a crew you got, in that case. [ Or Helix has been behaving. Who knows. ] What kinda crew is it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2013-09-26 11:14 pm UTC (link)
	We're salvage mostly. Occasionally we take on passengers from one planet to another. Mostly salvage and traders. [Pirates... criminals...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, you're a spaceship crew? Cool. [ Leaning down to pat the horse on the neck. ] I ain't been travelin' that much off-planet yet, but it's pretty neat. Bit borin' at times, I guess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2013-09-28 01:23 am UTC (link)
	You ain't doin' it right if it's borin'. [Mal grins. Life on Serenity seemed to always be exciting. But then, everyone on board had pretty impressive personalities.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-09-29 09:50 am UTC (link)
	Ain't that a relief to hear. I always thought it'd be more excitin' than it was, but I guess it got to do with why you're out there in th' first place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2013-09-30 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	Why was you out their in the firs' place? Can't imagine space bein' boring at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
